Nicklas Backstrom is back from injury and before the game, he got a special message from his three biggest fans.
Haley, Vince, and Alizee Backstrom recorded a video for Dad from their home in Galve, Sweden.
The Washington Capitals have made public that Nicklas Backstrom’s fiancée Liza is pregnant with the family’s third child. The couple already has a son, Vince, and a daughter, Haley.
The notoriously private Backstrom let cameras into his home the day of his contract-signing press conference to film a feature called Beyond Hockey. The video opens with Backstrom facing off with Vince on the hardwood floors. “(No), you’re cheating,” Backstrom says as he hooks and elbows his son. Eventually, Vince rifles a shot into the back of the baby net.

Earlier this season, Nicklas Backstrom melted hearts when he brought his two kids, Haley and Vince, out onto the ice after practice for a short family skate.
On Monday, Lauren Oshie shared photos and videos of her kids, Lyla and Leni, taking joint skating lessons with the Backstrom kids at Medstar Capitals Iceplex, the same rink that their dads practice at.
It’s so sweet your teeth will hurt.

It appears the old band is getting back together!
Nicklas Backstrom and former Capitals defenseman Mike Green are vacationing together during the All-Star Break. Mike Green’s wife Courtney captured the two former teammates in the pool. Backstrom can be seen playing with Greenie’s son Axel while his red-haired daughter Haley, wearing two pool floaties, is seen swimming in the background.
The Washington Capitals held a pregame ceremony to honor Nicklas Backstrom on his 500th assist. We at home didn’t get to see the proceedings, but we did get this neat video from the team, full of Nicky’s teammates congratulating him on the feat.

This photo should win an award. The Caps wives and girlfriends gathered their babies and toddlers together to watch Game Six. The kids – Stella Alzner, Lyla Oshie, Lucca Carlson, Haley Backstrom, and a few others – were dressed in Caps attire and sat on the couch. I’m pretty sure this is the sole reason why the Caps won.

In episode one of The Road To The Winter Classic, Tom Wilson and Michael Latta revealed that they are protective of their on-ice dad, Nicklas Backstrom. In episode two, Backstrom showed a rare glimpse of his life away from the rink, where he is actually a dad. The segments featured Backstrom’s daughter, Haley.
After returning home from New Jersey, Backstrom and girlfriend Liza took their one-year-old daughter to the park. “We were just on a road trip for six days,” Backstrom said. “You’re kind of like, ‘I wonder if she recognize me now?'”
The Swedish dad pushed Haley on a swing and rode down the slide with her. It’s adorable.
“It’s one thing to have a good group of guys on a team,” Backstrom said. “We’re all family, but it’s awesome to come home from games and enjoy her.”
